“We automatically went into lost-child procedure. In these situations, the first thing we do is investigate the scene. When we were coming out we saw Kate and she was screaming: ‘They’ve taken her. They’ve taken her!’ She remained so hysterical that she could hardly communicate.”

Ten years later – a few weeks shy of the May 3rd anniversary of Madeleine’s disappearance – a new “nanny” article has been published, not just in the Mirror UK, but in papers across the US, Australia, New Zealand, even as far away as Hungary. In other words, a global media blitz. Why now? What’s the point?

This time around, the nanny in the articles is intriguingly anonymous. Is Pennington back to expand on her story, or is this some other nanny who’s waited 10 years to speak? In addition to being a witness to the McCann’s guttural grief, the nanny says the Portugal police are to blame for bungling this case and the resort town of Praia da Luz is actually a haven for violent sex crimes.
